The Eagles’ softball team scored 38 runs in four weekend games against the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

CSC won the first game Saturday, 11-3, scoring in every inning except the first. Jessica Eatmon, senior outfielder of Broomfield, Colorado, scored three runs in the game. Shea Graham, junior outfielder of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Taylor Bauer, sophomore of Rapid City, South Dakota, each hit a home run. Tayler Hall, junior of Windsor, Colorado, sent 10 to the dugouts on strikeouts.

In a close second game, CSC lost 11-10. Going into a tied seventh inning, Katelyn Kruger, junior of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, smashed a solo home run to right field, but in the bottom of the inning, a two RBI single from Stephanie Warhoe, freshman of Colorado Springs, Colorado, brought the Mountain Lions home with the win.

Kruger marked three home runs and four RBIs in the game. Cierra Cosslette, junior of Grand Junction, Colorado, tallied five strikeouts in the game. Bauer also hit one over the fence in the contest.

“I think that we really came together as a team this past weekend,” Kruger said. “We were really focused and motivated and I think we will use that momentum and take it in to this weekend’s games against Regis.”

Sunday, in game three of the stretch, the Eagles clawed their way to the win, 6-2. Hall allowed four hits, while striking out eight.

Casey Polk, senior of Golden, Colorado; Zoe Humphries, sophomore of Arvada, Colorado; Graham; and Bauer all took one over the fence.

In the final game, UCCS fought back to post the win 14-11. Humphries batted in three runners while hitting two home runs. Kruger and Eatmon also each knocked a home run.

The Eagles will return home Friday and Saturday for another four-game stand against Regis University, Denver. Games will be played at noon and 2 p.m., Friday, and at 11 a.m., and 1 p.m., Saturday.
